My Life In South Carolina

My son ask me a question the other day that I answered right away without hesitation. I have been thinking about it for the past couple of days like maybe I wasn’t sure. His question was simple or so I thought, but I seemed to dwell on it for more time than I care to admit.

The question was “What was the best football game you ever saw?” Easy right? My answer. It has to be the 1981 AFC Championship game between the San Diego Chargers and the Miami Dolphins. If my math is right that’s 28 years ago.

Holy crap in a bucket, I’m old! 

The thing that stands out in my mind the most, was Kellen Winslow being helped off the field after the game. I still remember that like it was yesterday. Read his stats for the game and you’ll understand why.

It was an amazing game. You can check out the game summary here. If you didn’t see the game than you should.

I was right. It was the greatest game I ever saw. No question.

What started this whole conversation was a book he checked out from the school library. It was titled  ”The Greatest Game Ever Played.” The story of the New York Giants and the Baltimore Colts 1958 NFL Championship Game. 

Finally, he brought home a book that wasn’t about fire engines that could talk or some turtle with an inferiority complex in which his other animal friends try to help him overcome. That’s for sissy’s. This my friend was a book worth reading. It took me all of about ten minutes to read and I have to say I enjoyed it.

So here’s my question. Whats the greatest game you ever saw? It doesn’t have to be football. It can be any game. Use the comments section and tell us. I’d like to know.

Sunday morning it finally stopped raining. I may regain some of my sanity. That’s still up in the air though.

With news like Vince Shlomi. You know, the Shamwow guy. Anyway. It seems he got busted with a whore and I thought I might not make it through the day. Here’s the story. Check out his picture. It looks like he’s wearing a hospital gown under his jacket. Son of bitch! The whore sent him to the emergency room? WTF?

After grabbing an over-sized cup of coffee I plopped my ass down in front of my PC and tried to cope with the world through music. I downloaded Pepper’s new CD Pink Crustaceans from cdnow for $9.99 and it was worth the money. I may purchase their whole catalog I just haven’t had the gumption to do it yet. I’m still in the consideration phase.

That afternoon I finally replaced the faucet in the kitchen that had been hitch in my giddy-up for the last two weeks. If I ever have to replace a faucet again I’ll burn the house down first. It was amazingly hard to shrink myself  to Keebler elf size so I could fit under the sink, but I managed. Never again!

Caught a little bit of Coast to Coast A.M. It was a show from Friday night and some chic talked about Guardian Angels and unicorns. The Angles talk was good but as soon as she started with the unicorn crap I was out. Screw dat. I have to wonder if George Norry ever rolls his eyes at some of his guest? If he does I’m sure that show rolled his eyes across the room.

Here’s something I was thinking about. My nose is pretty clean for this time of year. I’m usually choking to death on allergy snot. So far I’m clean. I’m sure it won’t last though.

 See ya next time.

Saturday was no picnic. I’ve complained about the rain and it’s still here. I don’t what else to do about it. I started the morning with a cup of coffee and a quick Madden 09 football game with my son. In which I won in the last second after an amazing comeback I might add.

I migrated to the couch where I watched a documentary on the psycho’s at the Westboro Baptist Church.

Psst, I’m not sure but I think they may hate fags. Check them out and let me if you think so. Oh yeah, I think they may hate America too. That seems kind of funny since they apparently stand behind the First Amendment for protection. “That’s all I have to say about that.” A little tidbit from Forrest there.

I listened to Friday night’s Coast 2 Coast A.M. and couldn’t really get into it. There was some woman on the show talking about angels and unicorns. I could handle the angels talk but when she moved to the unicorns I had to turn it off. What a let down. Jeeze.

If it doesn’t stop raining so I can get outside I may go crazy and begin to finger paint the walls with my own shit or something. Did I mention it had been raining fro 3 days? Oh, I did. See, I’m already repeating myself. It’s happening quicker than I thought. I need some sort of “pill” I think. 

Then it was on to the the replacement of the kitchen faucet that I’ve been putting this off for two weeks. I don’t know who built this house but I think it was a crew of elves. I’m really having a hell of a time inserting my fat ass under the sink. How the hell did they get the original faucet installed? The whole situation makes me grit my teeth and make inhuman guttural sounds. I looked it over and decided I was better off doing it tomorrow. You know, when I have a fresh start.

We’ll see tomorrow.
